[Christian Exodia]

So, I saw the current episode on OP today. Magellan, dude is Bada**. The Venom Hydra & Mr. 3 forming those Candle Walls to block them. Buggy, Mr. 1, & Crocodile with the door, Jinbei driving them, Sweet!

[Nexev]

WAit till you see Mr 2's crowning moment of awesome.

You might have lived wrongly as a man, or you might have lived wrongly as a woman, in the end it's still a way of a human. We may part under the real blue sky, but the okama kempo will strive.

 

Okama way

[Christian Exodia]

Thank you Nexev, for the Sneak Peek.

 

I see. It means no matter what you did in the past, but in the end, we all are the same, but different. We may all live in the same place, but the Okama Kempo will strive.

 

And that sounds good, & shocking, due to Mr. 2's current State.

[Nexev]

That was actually made by a friend.

 

Here is the actual end quote

 

even in the depths of hell

blooms a beautiful flower of friendship

leaving it's peatls as mementos

bobbing back and forth on the waves

may it bloom once more

 

The okama way.

 

In the okama fields... let us meet once again.

 

I see the ending and I was crying inside.

[Christian Exodia]

Beautiful. And I wonder if anyone dies(Besides hundreds of Marines, obviously.).

[Nexev]

Whitebeard, Ace, and worse it is implied Mr. 2 died as well facing MAgellan alone after sacrificing himself by opening the gates of justice while the others went on the boat.

[Andx]

Mr. 2 final messages are always a mixture of funny and awesome.

Sorry guys I forgot to post chapters this Friday. Two days late but here they are.

[spoiler=[i]Chapter 12[/i] An Implausible Rescue. How the Heck Did that Happen?]

Alistair looked out upon the congregation of people with pure excitement. How he loved the idea of extinguishing their only remaining hope. The Larghetto surrounded the people ensuring that they would not only stay put, but watch. The Larghetto had grown greatly since the time of its beginning. Alistair now had many faithful servants. No one would dare oppose him now, not even Jack Lancolets could do anything.

 

"I'm sure you're all aware of our usual procedure when it comes to executing criminals. Sound torture then beheading. But today is special, as such I'm making special arrangements. Jack Lancolets will die by sound torture and electrocution only. His death shall be long and exquisite. And as I'm sure I don't have to remind you, anyone who moves to leave or stop the execution will be killed. Now then let's move on with the sound torture." Alistair said. A large speaker was placed in front of both Jack and John. It would then emitt a very lound sound. The pitch would then be adjusted to be the most horrific for the specific person. At first the two speakers would be on the same pitch. After a minute they would be tuned to each person.

 

"Let it begin." Alistair said. A Larghetto member activated the speakers, the people covered their ears in preparation, Alistair and the Larghetto had ear plugs in place, and then nothing happened. The sound wasn't there.

"Excuse me, I said BEGIN THE SOUND TORTURE!" he yelled at the man.

"Sir it has begun. The speakers are on and sounding." the man responded.

"Then why the hell don't I hear anything!!!!!!" Alistair yelled. He had clearly wanted this to go smoothly and to have any distractions was infuriating. Jack could see that the speaker was in fact moving, it was sounding. And yet he could hear nothing. Alistair took notice of it as well.

"What is going on?!!!!" Alistair screamed.

 

Then something else happened. The stocks holding Jack and John shattered to pieces. Jack and John fell to the ground and suddenly an wall of ice appeared surrounding them. A third figure could be seen inside.

"What is this?!" Alistair screamed. The Larghetto instantly moved to attack and then something else happened. The first man who moved to attack the ice was suddenly engulfed in blue flames. Behind him the large blue fox was visible. Inside the ice Jack and John were standing up. The fact that they had strength to was odd. The fox knocked out a few other Larghetto and then disappeared. The three figures inside the ice disappeared. The men crushed the ice and found no one inside.

"SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS!!!!" Alistair screamed. His whole ceremony had fallen to pieces.

 

Then suddenly five people appeared in the center of the town square. Two were Jack and John, who now had his weapons. One other was a black man with a white katana drawn. Another was the fox and the final was a man Alistair hadn't seen before. This person was wearing a simple black coat and had very pale blond hair. He was holding a guitar in his hands and was apparently holding a note out, strange as no sound was coming from it. The Larghetto surrounded the group but Alistair called them to stop. Alistair came down to the people still seething with rage.

"Before my men kill you all you will tell me how this happened!!" Alistair yelled.

"Of course, I don't care to tell you how easily you were tricked." Frozox said.

 

"It all started with my friend and I getting John's weapons back." Frozox said motioning to Emanuel.

"On the way we ran into this guy." he said motioning to the man with the guitar.

"You were so busy here that hardly anyone was guarding the weapons. We defeated a few men and got them back. Then we came here. When you started the speakers you got incredibly angry which was our chance. You see the fox and I are quite fast. Shattering the stocks without notice was quite easy. I then encased your 'prisoners' with my ice. The fox could take down anyone who could attack and then escape without notice. Once I unlocked the kairouseki handcuffs, with the keys your men so graciously provided, John warped all three of us out here. Quite simple really." Frozox said. The pride in his well constructed plan was apparent.

 

"Very clever. But how did you plan on the speakers not working?!!!" Alistair barked at them.

"....Not working? Oh, I see. You would think that. Koji, why don't you explain that to our little friends." Frozox said.

"Why of course Frozox. My Oto Oto no mi gives me very specific control of sounds. It was way too easy to simply play and hold a note that would cancel out the sound of your speakers." Koji, the guitar wielding man said.

"The sound waves are destructively interfering essentially. Though both are sounding neither can be heard." Frozox said.

"Canceling each other out.... Wait!" Alistair said.

"Oh, you seem to get it now. Well let me just enlighten everyone." Koji said. He stopped playing his guitar and then suddenly the horrible noise from the speakers poured out to the people. The Larghetto, who had foolishly removed their ear plugs started screaming in pain. The people ran back to their homes.

 

Alistair struggled to the speakers and barely managed to pull out the cords, ending the sound.

"You've all played me for a fool! I'll kill you all!" Alistair said. Aside from himself only three other Larghetto members stood. A force that hardly seemed able to fight the New Dawn group, Jack, and the newcomer Koji.

"Cassius, Lanford, Olivia!! It's time we killed our problematic guests!" Alistair yelled. The three stepped up to the group and Alistair began moving away. Jack ran off after him.

"Emanuel, go with Jack, we can handle these three." Frozox said.

"Right." Emanuel said. He sped off after Jack. The three left behind made no motions to stop either Jack or Emanuel. The woman, Olivia started chuckling lightly to herself.

 

"All of you should be going after him if you actually wish to beat Alistair. You've just sent those two off to their deaths." she said.

"Not that you three will survive us. We are the Marcato Trio. The best the Larghetto have to offer aside from our leader Alistair." Cassius, the larger of the two men said.

"Such confidence." Frozox replied.

"We've more than earned the right to such confidence." Lanford said.

"Enough talk already, let's get to the fighting!" Koji said. The three Larghetto members took a few feet aside from each other. Koji, Frozox, and John did the same. If each was to attack the person straight in front of them the fights would be as follows: John vs. Cassius, Koji vs. Lanford, and Frozox vs. Olivia.

 

Jack and Emanuel followed after Alistair, who was quite fast, all the way to outside of his men's hideout. He then turned around to face those who had followed him.

"Enough running Alistair!" Jack said.

"Who's running Jack? I'm simply moving to a more preferable battlefield. I'm afraid that you'll need more than that demon to defeat me Jack!" he yelled. Then of all things a sword materialized in Alistair's hand. He charged at Jack screaming. Jack then placed his right arm on the ground.

"Meta Meta no mi, absorb!" he said. Emanuel then saw his right hand turn into the same concrete as the ground.

"Awesome!" Emanuel said quietly. Alistair brought his sword down and Jack grabbed hold of it with his right arm. It seemed his arm was now made of concrete. He then called absorb out again and his arm turned into the same steel the sword was made of.

 

"It seems I've forgotten of your power Jack!" Alistair said struggling to keep the sword down.

"But have you forgotten mine?" Alistair said. Suddenly his left hand held another sword and he swung out at Jack. Jack jumped back but his chest was still grazed by the blade. A small cut was in place. The second sword in Alistair's hand disappeared.

"It seems you haven't completely forgotten about the Buki Buki no mi and the power it gives me to summon weapons." Alistair said.

"Are you okay Jack?" Emanuel said.

"I'm fine, it didn't do much." Jack said.

"Oh so it talks? I see then, that explains it. A zoan type no doubt. No matter, you both will die here." Alistair said.

 

John reeled his sword back. Cassius was quite sturdy and had deflected all of John's attacks. He wielded a large hammer and wasn't the fastest person but still reacted quite quickly. Cassius had already told them that all three of them were weapon masters and had no devil powers to speak of. But they also made sure to tell how they had killed many devil fruit users in the past. It didn't make any difference to John. He swung his sword around again. And again Cassius guarded it masterfully.

"Is that all you can do?" Cassius said.

"You wish." John said.

 

Koji had gotten the blades coming out of both sides of the guitar's body going. Lanford wielded a lance with great skill. Realizing that clashing with Koji would be unwise he had instantly set Koji on the offensive with the range provided by his lance.

"Dammit! I need to get on the offense! I can't just keep blocking!" Koji said.

 

Frozox and Olivia had quickly proven theirs was to be the slowest paced fight or at least, the best planned out.

"Why don't you make a move?" Olivia said mockingly.

"Ladies first." Frozox said.

"You would like that." Olivia said. She still hadn't drawn a weapon.

"Just like you'd like for me to go first." Frozox said.

"Clever boy. This might actually be interesting. Most of my opponents are so boring. They're all too stupid to fight with me. But you seem smart, you'd have to be to come up with that rescue plan." Olivia said.

"I assure you miss, you assume to much of me." Frozox said.

"We'll see about that won't we?" Olivia said.

 

Jack and Emanuel both stepped up to Alistair.

"Wait, Emanuel. Please let me fight him on my own. He's my opponent, I must be the one to finish him." Jack said.

"But-"

"Please. If I can't defeat him then you'll have to step in. Until then he's mine." Jack said.

"So are we finally ready to finish this Jack? It's about time!" Alistair said.

"I am ready. Today you will suffer the just punishment for the crimes you have committed against the people of this island, and me." Jack said.

"I wonder if you can back up those arrogant claims. As I recall, you never had beaten me when the various Larghetto members would practice with one another.

"But this isn't practice isn't it?" Jack said.

"Hmph, Indeed." Alistair responded.

 

 

[spoiler=[i]Chapter 13[/i] Overcome Their Talent! The Crew Faces the Marcato Trio!]

John's sword swung around again. Cassius seemed ready to doge as he had shown he could do and then the sword was gone, and John for that matter. Cassius looked around and couldn't spot him.

"Now where could he-" the sword reappeared right at Cassius's head. He reacted quicker than his large body should have been able to and then his hammer was there to block the sword. John disappeared again and reappeared in his original position.

 

"It seems you aren't going to get very far in this fight. Sure you can warp around everywhere, but you're nowhere near fast enough to keep up with me. I am the Iron Wall of the Marcato Trio, Cassius! You will never be able to strike me down." Cassius said. John didn't respond. Cassius was proving to be difficult. All he had done so far was guard John's attacks. Should he get going on the offense John wasn't sure he'd be able to keep up. Then again, Cassius wasn't serious at the moment, but John certainly wasn't trying his hardest either. John sheathed his sword and drew his rifle.

"Oh so you intend to shoot me? Try if you can." Cassius said as he raised his hammer in defense. It seemed he was ready to block the bullet.

"You asked for it." John said. He fired once. On response Cassius swiped his hammer down. Though it was made of a tough wood he was somehow able to swat the bullet to the ground. John's eyes widened ever so slightly at the move.

 

"How?" John said very quietly. Cassius started chuckling in his deep voice.

"I told you, I am the Iron Wall. I am a master of defensive fighting. Eventually you will mess up and then when your attack is blocked," he said. Before John could shoot again Cassius was already on him. "I deliver punishment." he said. He swung his hammer and John disappeared behind him. Then of all things Cassius swung in a three-sixty motion hitting John. John took the impact on his right side as was tossed into a nearby wall. He slumped to the floor with the impact. The hammer blow had hurt, badly. He wasn't sure but he thought his right arm might be broken. He moved it and concluded it wasn't. With a struggled John got back to his feet.

 

"Good, you still stand. I need to give you trouble makers a better punishment than that." Cassius said.

"Shut up. Your time in this fight is over. That was your one good strike, don't expect another." John said. He pulled his rifle up again fired once. Cassius prepared his guarding motion again only to see the bullet disappear before it reached him. He then felt an awful pain in his left calf.

"Argh!! What the heck was that?!" Cassius screamed. He looked and as best he could tell it was a bullet wound. But no one had fired a bullet from that direction and John's couldn't have ricocheted at that angle. John had a satisfied look in his eye for a second but it then returned to his serious face.

"Shame, I missed your vitals. I can warp myself around fine but controlling a bullet precisely is tough. So then... let's see how painful I can make this for you." John said.

 

John quickly fired off three shots in varying directions, all of which disappeared shortly after leaving the barrel. One appeared quickly and glided across Cassius's face horizontally and grazed his nose. In reaction he quickly jumped back only to have another shot hit him in the left calf again. That leg was getting really hard to stand on. The third shot came from behind and Cassius was able to quickly knock it to the ground. His breath was heavy now, as was John's.

"Seems your skill doesn't do you much good when attacks are coming at you at random." John said.

"You would like that wouldn't you? Now I'll let you in on a secret." Cassius said. He held his hammer out so that it stood vertically. The front of it opened and revealed several small missiles inside. At once they all launched out, four small missiles.

 

"You're just desperate now." John said. He warped out of the way and was certain he had avoided them. Right as he reappeared one of the missiles exploded right behind his back. John was blown forward a few feet but quickly got back to warping to avoid the other three.

"Surprised? Don't be, I have control over where these missiles fly. You can't avoid them!" Cassius said. Right as he did John warped again yet this time something was wrong. He'd used the ability too much, he was too stressed to do it.

"Dammit!" John said as the other three missiles all exploded in front of him. There was a large cloud of smoke in front of John. He'd clearly been hit. Cassius was confident he'd won.

 

"It seems you were in no position to be fighting me fool." Cassius said. He turned around. That's when he felt several cuts forming along his back, arms and legs. As he looked he saw portions of a sword had cut him. Then the tip came flying out of nowhere into his back. Cassius let out a large cough of blood as he fell to the floor.

"What the hell?!" Cassius said barely able to stand. The smoke cleared and revealed a quite burnt and bloody John. He had a handle to his sword in his hand that had a long rope coming from it.

"You threw the blade segments?" Cassius said barely conscious.

"A pity, that such a predictable attack should finish this. Don't get up if you know what's good for you." John said. At that Cassius passed out, the bullet and cut wounds too much for him. John smiled lightly and sat down against the nearby wall.

"Well it's about time." he said quietly as he began to rest.

Lanford continued his ranged strikes against Koji and they were working wonderfully. Koji couldn't get his own attacks in and was constantly on the defensive. To make Koji even more on defense Lanford made sure to only make stabbing attacks. Koji couldn't just take them so he had to guard or dodge. All in all Koji couldn't do much. It was something he hoped to put an end to quickly.

"What's the matter? Can't do anything? Does is anger you? Don't get too angry. It's not your fault you can't hit such a superior opponent. Better you just surrender now. Your makeshift saw won't be doing much to me any time soon." Lanford said as he continued the attacks.

 

"Grr! Stop it already!" Koji yelled. He caught the lance on his blade and suddenly the blade started rotating. It was grinding against the lance and Lanford quickly pulled it back.

"Keep it going!" Koji yelled. He started running at Lanford and right as he attempted to attack again Koji struck a chord on his guitar.

"Oto Oto no, dissonance!" Koji said. The sound was bad and as Lanford heard it he felt his balance start wavering. Koji was on him, the chord had stopped, and Lanford was beginning to regain focus. Kenji swung the blade from the top of the guitar at his but Lanford recovered just quickly enough to get out of the way with a quick jump.

 

"Dammit! Stay put so I can hit you!" Koji yelled. He began charging again but Lanford resumed the attacks. Koji was once again on the defense but it was a bit harder for Lanford to keep him there with the blades rotating.

"I don't get it. He played a note, and sure it was bad. But it shouldn't have done that to me. He distorted my balance, if only briefly. What is going on here? He claims he was able to cancel out the speakers with an interfering wave. He said he has control over sound but what does that mean?" Lanford thought. As he thought he was distracted and before he knew it Koji had danced around one of his attacks and slashed out at his left arm. He regained focus but it was too late to stop any damage from occurring. He stepped back but the spinning blade had grazed his arm. He jumped back again and clenched his left arm momentarily.

 

"Alright! Finally got you! I was wondering how long that was going to take. You're pretty tricky you know that? Most people just come and attack me and then I get to slice 'em up a bit. But you fight all borin' and stuff. You keep attackin' from a distance and not letting me have any fun. Now, where's the fun in that?!" Koji yelled.

"Enough of this! You've gotten your hit now prepare for mine!" he said. With that Lanford took an amazing jump into the air. He went just high enough that in order for Koji to keep him in his vision, which he of course did, Koji would have to stare straight into the sun. Koji tried to shield his eyes to get a good look at Lanford but it wasn't going to work. Koji took a few steps back to see if he could get a better view but it was too late. Lanford came crashing down, spear first. He got a good cut across Koji's right arm before Koji got away. The spear head had crushed a good portion of the cement around it. It wasn't stuck in the cement, but had rather crushed the concrete around it.

 

"That's pretty good! Keep that up or else it's no fun!" Koji said. He examined the cut on his arm a bit. It was pretty good, it wasn't messing with his arm's functionality but it was still pretty deep.

"Heh, I might want to get this looked at after I finish this." Koji said.

"Don't delude yourself! You're dying here!" Lanford said. Again he was up in the air so that Koji would have to look in the sun to see.

"Well if you get to keep doing that..." he said. He pulled up his guitar to play again. "Then I get to keep doing this! Oto oto no, dissonance!" he yelled out. The same sound came again and Lanford felt the disorientation once more. He put a hand up to his face in pain.

"Not this again! In that case.." Lanford said. His vision beginning to fail him as well he proceeded to throw his spear with great force at Koji. All at once the sound stopped and Lanford regained focus. He landed and saw what he had done. The lance had gone straight through the center of the guitar and was out a bit at the end. Koji had been lightly stabbed in the chest but that didn't seem to concern him. He stared at his guitar with an evil look in his face.

 

"You. Just what the hell, HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!" he said. At once Koji ripped the lance out of his guitar, as well as the tip coming out of his chest. He set his guitar on the ground and then proceeded to hurl the lance with all the force he could muster and Lanford. Lanford, who had just recovered his balance couldn't avoid it. Do to his bad aim the lance stabbed straight through Lanford's right arm. Lanford just stared at it in shock. The pain in his arm was immense, like nothing he'd ever felt before. Lanford fell to the floor unconscious. Koji stood panting and then he fell to the floor. The wound in his chest had been a bit worse than he'd thought.

"Serves you right... for wasting my guitar!" Koji yelled. He then lied down to rest.

 

--------

 

Olivia finally made a move, though it was only to draw a weapon. She pulled out a blade, it was too long to be considered a dagger but calling it a sword was a bit much. It was about a foot and a half in length and curved in the center.

"I must wonder if you think you're up to the challenge. Not many ever encounter Olivia of the Marcato Trio and live." Olivia said holing the blade up. Frozox also held his already drawn katana in a ready position.

"It hardly matters if I think I'm ready." Frozox replied. The white blade shined for a brief moment.

"What a pretty blade you have! If I was to guess I'd say that's what formed that wall of ice earlier." Olivia said.

"You won't be getting information from me. You'll see what I can do when I do it." Frozox said.

 

"Alright then." Olivia said. She started skipping of all things to Frozox. A less serious person would have started laughing or yelling. She approached and casually slashed out at Frozox. Frozox hardly moved and guarded the blow.

"Trying to get me to show what I can do? I can tell you now I won't give any more than I have to. If you keep this up I won't try any harder than this." Frozox said.

"How mean! Making fun of me! I'm trying my best and you tell me you won't fight your best with me?!" Olivia said with a whining voice.

"Drop the act now. You've already proven you aren't a defenseless little girl." Frozox said. Olivia let out a sigh.

"Well, it seems you are smarter than the average opponent. But the real test of that begins now." Olivia said.

 

Olivia pulled out a small blade, this one actually on dagger size. It too was curved in the center. She casually tossed the blade behind her. Then she pulled out another similar knife. This she lightly tossed in Frozox's direction. Frozox slashed out at it and sent it flying back at her with greater speed than she had thrown it. She then closed her eyes and deflected the small knife with her larger blade. It fell off to the side.

"Getting serious on me now?" Olivia said.

"As if." Frozox replied.

"Right then." Olivia responded. She tossed out another three small knifes in any which way on the battlefield. Two lay behind Olivia, one behind Frozox, and one on either side of the two.

"So are you just going to litter the battlefield or is this getting somewhere?" Frozox said.

 

"No. I simply dislike carrying so many weapons. I only need this blade to defeat you." Olivia said in reference to the one weapon she was holding.

"Do you now?" Frozox said.

"I mean what I say." Olivia said, quite serious.

"The prove it to me." Frozox said.

"Your funeral." Olivia responded. She started to run and immediately found herself sliding and falling backwards. While momentarily in mid air Frozox jumped out at her with his sword ready. He slashed at her but Olivia managed to bring the blade into a guarding position. Guarding the attack in the air sent Olivia back a few feet. Then she saw it. One of her knifes, and the surrounding ground including where she'd been standing, was covered in ice.

"When did you?" she said.

"I never do anything without purpose, something you would be wise to remember." Frozox said.

"So it was when he deflected the knife. Interesting." she thought.

 

Frozox then dashed again at Olivia, this time he let his sword drag on the ground. As he approached he slashed at Olivia, who of course guarded. Though Frozox kept pushing forward attacking so Olivia had to keep stepping back to keep up. None of the attacks were even hard for her to guard. Every time Frozox was guarded his blade hit the ground again, but he was quick to bring it back to attack. Though the attacks weren't threatening Olivia had no time to get attacks of her own in.

"He's doing this on purpose. There's a method to it. No matter. His plans are about to fail him." Olivia thought. She guarded one final attack. Then a knife plunged into Frozox's left shoulder. It only went in an inch or two as Frozox was quick to remove it.

"What was that?" he said quietly. Before he could think about it more knifes were suddenly flying at him and then of all things, stopping in mid air and changing direction. He was suddenly completely on defense and had to jump and block everywhere to avoid the weapons. All the while Olivia just stood in place, her blade at her side.

 

The blades came to a stop and Frozox took the opportunity to catch his breath. Olivia let out a light chuckle as the blades stopped suspended in the air.

"I would think it should be obvious what this is." Olivia said.

"All signs point to it being a Devil Fruit power, something your friend kindly told us none of your little group uses." Frozox said.

"Oh, that's a bit of a technicality you see. We the people don't use the powers but there is a Devil Fruit power among us. My blade holds the Himo Himo no mi. But that's all I can tell you." Olivia said.

"The string fruit? It would seem she can control the other weapons remotely with that blade. Interesting power. She didn't make the small weapons seem important but in actuality they are the crux of her fighting. She is clever, but not enough to be fighting me. It's over for her." Frozox thought.

 

"You seem deep in thought. No doubt guessing at my blade's power. Let me remind you that we're in a fight. If you can't think in fractions of seconds you'll die where you stand!" She said. The five knifes all flew at Frozox, then a flash of white through the air and the knifes fell to the floor and Olivia had a shallow cut across her right forearm.

"What?!" she said. Then she saw very thin sheets of ice fall to the ground and shatter.

"I told you I do nothing without a purpose!" Frozox yelled. He dashed out at Olivia who still seemed entranced at what had transpired. Frozox slashed out and at the last second she focused and guarded the blow.

"How did you do that? My strings are intangible! It's impossible to cut them! Impossible!" Olivia said.

"Seems I know a bit more than you do about your own power. Who'd have thought the energy of the devil fruit was similar to light. When the ice planted in my previous attacks came off it disrupted the string's flow and left the knives completely separated from you main blade. A bit of luck but I had guessed something of that nature was going on." Frozox said.

"You're better than I thought you would be. But now you get to die!" she said. The knifes all at once stabbed into Frozox's back. Frozox reeled back, five deep wounds inflicted.

"Aha hee hee hee!!" Olivia laughed madly.

"I got you fool! I knew you weren't a match for me. I knew-" she said but something alarmed her.

 

Olivia could see no blood coming from what she knew to be direct hits. Then she saw something shift on Frozox's back. It appeared to be... his scarf! The back of the scarf moved on its own in front of Frozox, all five blades stuck in it. The scarf sort of whipped a bit and threw all five blades to the floor.

"Where did that come from?" Olivia screeched.

"It seems you aren't nearly as good a strategist as you make yourself appear to be. Still you are becoming dangerous. It's time my blade showed it's true form to you." Frozox said. As he did so a distinct cold came over the area and Frozox's blade turned black. He then tossed up a small vial and cut it in half. A strange mist erupted from it and Frozox jumped back outside of it. Olivia saw nothing wrong with it but ran straight through it. It was a mistake she would regret. She immediately lost control of her legs and almost fell over.

 

"What's going on?!" Olivia yelled. Frozox stepped back in front of her.

"You were foolish enough to run straight through a paralytic drug. It's only natural a limb or two should stop functioning. This is it for you. You claimed you were too bright for anyone to face yet that seems to have turned against you. You've helped horrible things happen to this town and for that you deserve a punishment." Frozox said. He waved the black sword slowly through the air. The very water in the air around Olivia froze onto her garments. Frozox then tapped the surface of the ice and it turned black. Olivia immediately began screaming at the pain. After almost no time she passed out. Frozox let the ice sit for about six minutes and called it off. He looked over and saw that the other two had finished their fights as well. His sword turned white again and then Frozox nearly fell to the floor.

"Using that blade is quite tough on me it seems. I still can't use it long without getting tired. Sorry captain. I don't think any of us will be able to help at the moment." Frozox thought. And with that the Marcato Trio had fallen for the first time.

Whitebeard' date=' Ace, and worse it is implied Mr. 2 died as well facing MAgellan alone after sacrificing himself by opening the gates of justice while the others went on the boat.

 

[/quote']

 

HOLY CRAP. This is the battle where BOTH Whitebeard & Ace die, Marco the Phoenix takes control of the Whitebeard Pirates, Mr. 2 supposedly dies?!

 

And dude, look at what would've happened if Sanji found the Door-Door fruit before Blueno.

 

In a response to a fan, Oda had stated that if Sanji had eaten the Doa Doa no Mi, it would be like the end of the world. All women would live in fear of being seen naked in the bath(Off of the Doa Doa no Mi page)

 

I ROFL'ed.

 

And how do I get onto your FF, Andx?

Hey, ice joined. Don't you like BLEACH?

[Blablafodfpå]

Course i do xD, What about it ?

[Andx]

 

Whitebeard' date=' Ace, and worse it is implied Mr. 2 died as well facing MAgellan alone after sacrificing himself by opening the gates of justice while the others went on the boat.

HOLY CRAP. This is the battle where BOTH Whitebeard & Ace die, Marco the Phoenix takes control of the Whitebeard Pirates, Mr. 2 supposedly dies?!

 

And dude, look at what would've happened if Sanji found the Door-Door fruit before Blueno.

 

In a response to a fan, Oda had stated that if Sanji had eaten the Doa Doa no Mi, it would be like the end of the world. All women would live in fear of being seen naked in the bath(Off of the Doa Doa no Mi page)

 

I ROFL'ed.

Hey, it's that time again! Two more chapters of Bearers of the Rio Poneglyph, coming your way people!

[spoiler=[i]Chapter 14[/i] Confrontation With Alistair! A Battle for Revenge and a Battle for a Friend.]

Both of Jack's arms were now making use of his power and were now made of steel. With steel making his arms quite durable, he was able to clash with Alistair's various weapons. Alistair's Buki Buki no mi seemed to allow him to summon weapons of varying varieties at his will. Neither combatant seemed to be giving way, in short they seemed equally matched. Neither was breathing heavily so it was quite obvious to Emanuel, who was observing, that both of them had yet to get serious.

"Come on Jack. You have to get this guy." Emanuel thought as he watched. He was a decent distance away from it as he felt they could use some room. Still, Emanuel was ready to launch into the action if needed.

 

Alistair and Jack clashed once more, Alistair's blade in Jack's strong grip. It was another deadlock. Neither could get a clear advantage over the other.

"It seems you've gotten better Jack. A good thing to be sure. We wouldn't want this ending too quickly! And I can't imagine how Brigham would feel if you couldn't even last five minutes in the fight to avenge him." Alistair said. Jack's anger flared again.

"I told you to never use his name!" Jack yelled. With his left hand he attempted to land a blow on Alistair's chest. Alistair made no motion to guard the blow and it turned out he didn't have to. A shield appeared over his chest that negated any damage Jack might have done.

"Even shields?" Jack said in a bit of disbelief.

"A shield is a weapon of war Jack." Alistair said. With a graceful motion he removed his blade from Jack's right hand and slashed out at Jack in roughly the same place Jack had been cut before. Jack got away quickly enough but received another light cut under the one he already had.

 

"It seems I still have more talent than you Jack. That's two for me and nothing for you yet. Though you're better this is just shaping up to be one of our typical sparring matches." Alistair said. The shield he had summoned had disappeared. Jack stood silently for a bit.

"Shall I give you your weapons back? I still have them you know. I fear this will quite dull if I don't. Or rather I can make you the weapon you generally use." Alistair said. A long slender sword, almost rapier like, appeared in Alistair's hand. He made an odd motion around it and a strange glow both appeared and faded. He tossed the weapon to Jack.

"I've removed its connection to me. I can assure you that it won't just randomly disappear while we fight." Alistair said. Jack trusted the words. Though Alistair was a horrible person he kept his word in battles. Jack hadn't once seen Alistair use an underhanded technique in a fight, now of course outside of fights was completely different.

 

Jack picked up the rapier and it felt just like the one he was use to carrying with him. It seemed Alistair knew the weapon well. Jack knew he still had his darts with him as they weren't easy to find. Jack's right arm turned back to flesh as he picked up the weapon. He kept his left arm as steel as a sort of shield.

"You'll regret this!" Jack yelled. From a trickily concealed pocket inside his jacket he drew a small dart filled with a painful venom and kept it in his left hand. It was concealed and Alistair had hardly seen the motion as Jack was charging him. Jack attacked and true to the blade's intended purpose he made a stabbing motion. Alistair deflected the blow with his usual grace and made to attack Jack again. With a small flick of his left hand Jack threw the dart into the wrist of Alistair's sword hand. Alistair's motion to attack was stopped cold as he cried out in pain.

 

"You! A dart! Where did you get those?! My men took your weapons." Alistair said as he pulled the dart out. The needle itself wasn't all that large but it seemed Alistair hadn't noticed the venom on it. Good thing too. In a few minutes his arm would convulse in pain from the toxin.

"Who would have thought that even Alistair the Perfected has openings in his style?" Jack said with a strong sarcastic tone.

"You!" Alistair brought his sword down again only to have this one gracefully parried by Jack. Jack then slid his rapier down the edge of Alistair's deflected sword and stabbed Alistair's right shoulder with the tip of his sword. This enraged Alistair but he had to step back so as to keep from graver injuries.

"That would be two-all." Jack said as Alistair charged again. Alistair came with a very sloppy attack and Jack didn't even need to take a step to deflect. Jack guarded the blow and casually made another light stab in Alistair's left shoulder.

"And that would be three two me." Jack said.

 

Alistair stopped and his faced strangely calmed down.

"Good job Jack. You've proven to me that I'll have to take you seriously. You should have made better use of your three little hits. You won't be getting anymore from here on out!" Alistair said. Suddenly the blade in his hand disappeared only to be replaced by four broad swords, two lances, four daggers and two shields. All of the weapons leviated around Alistair who began letting out an insane laugh. His power obviously pleased him.

"Do you like it Jack? My real strength! Had I shown this in the past your foolish brother would never have become leader! But then again, I didn't really have liberation in mind!" Alistair said. Without hesitation Jack pulled out his remaining four darts. He then realized what he had hit Alistair with earlier. He could no longer count on that venom putting Alistair off guard, at least not until another dart hit him. Alistair wasted no time in attacking. He came at a light jog towards Jack the weapons thrashing about seemingly randomly.

 

All at once the four broadswords came swinging at Jack. He had to doge them, there was no way his rapier could guard against broadswords. As he jumped back the lances lunged forward. Jack deflected them off, still moving backwards, when the daggers came all at him. He again barely managed to deflect these. Then the shields came and knocked him to his feet. Almost immediately the two lances came and stabbed through Jack's arms pinning him to the floor.

"Too easy Jack. Is my power really too much for you? Surely you could have done better. Or perhaps you were never meant to be a challenge to me. Perhaps only your brother ever was, and look at what happened to him. Oh well, a shame." Alistair said. He turned his back on Jack and then felt a slash across his back. Jack stood behind him, breathing heavily, lances still stuck in his arms.

"I thought I told you... to stop talking about him!" Jack said as he attempted another attack. This was too easily deflected and Jack fell back to the ground and quickly passed out from the large wounds. Alistair stood over him, enraged by the large cut across his back.

 

"You just can't stop being a thorn in my side! Why is it that you and your stupid brother could never just let me do as I pleased?! I should have known better than to ever think you would be loyal to me! I should have killed you all those years ago before you even left the Larghetto! Now I erase that mistake from my life! Now I claim complete control over this island.! Now I can finally know that my reign shall go unopposed by all who are involved!" He yelled. He moved all of his weapons a few inches over Jack's body. He intended to stab Jack with every weapon he had. Just as he moved to do so he felt several distinct slashes across his back. He turned around and saw nothing. Then he turned back to Jack and saw he had disappeared. He then blinked and saw a man with thick and messy brown hair standing in front of him. His arms and legs were covered by gauntlets and grieves respectively.

"You! Who the hell are you? What did you do to me and where the hell is Jack?!!!!" Alistair yelled at the stranger. The man stared straight back at him with the fiercest look in his eyes that Alistair had ever seen.

 

"I don't owe you an explanation! Anyone who attempts to kill my friends, is going to find himself half-dead on the floor bleeding from as many areas as I can make do so!" Emanuel yelled at Alistair. He had taken on his human form and gotten Jack out of danger faster than Alistair could see.

"You, I know that voice. You're that fox!" Alistair yelled.

"Like that matters." Emanuel said. In a flash he was right up in front of Alistair who instinctively pulled a shield in front of himself. Emanuel placed his hand flat on the shield.

"Impact." he said. The shield crumpled around the force of the impact dial in Emanuel's hand. It went flying off over head and Alistair was left completely stunned.

 

"Now for you!" Emanuel said. He moved to kick Alistair but before he could do so he was surrounded by tens of various weapons. Alistair was panting from apparent fatigue but he began chuckling. Every weapons was only inches away from Emanuel and were all clearly potentially fatal strikes.

"So you think you can just step into my fight with Jack?! Well I'll tell you now that you'll only get yourself killed if you do." Alistair said still breathing heavily.

"When did I say I was getting into that fight? I won't take part in that. It is only a fight for vengeance, something I couldn't assist Jack in if I wanted to. No, I'm in this fight, for a friend. A friend who is obviously pained and angered by your existence and actions. A friend who you attempted to kill!" Emanuel said.

 

"Nice speech kid, but you don't seem to realize the situation you're in. If you really want to fight me, then you're dead. Or are the weapons in front of you really not that threatening?" Alistair said.

"Are you just going to keep talking? I'm in this now, for Jack. Stop asking and make your move!" Emanuel yelled.

"Fine kid, your death coming right up!" he said. The weapons all moved in and stopped right at the surface of Emanuel's skin. The skin hadn't been broken but the weapons refused to move farther.

"Tekai!" Emanue said.

"What is this nonsense?! Die. Die already!" Alistair said. He brought the weapons off of Emanuel and tried to attack again only to receive a kick to the face.

 

Alistair went flying a few feet but Emanuel was hardly finished.

"Rankyaku!" he said as he kicked his leg out horizontally. A thin blade of energy launched out at Alistair. Alistair barely managed to guard it by moving his weapons in the way. He slowly staggered to his feet. As soon as he did so Emanuel was already up in his face delivering various kicks and punches. Somehow Alistair was able to keep up with and avoid most of them. He was a talented fighter after all. Then Emanuel finally landed another kick on him but this didn't send him flying.

"You're too good. Seems I really have to go all out on you!" Alistair said. As he did so about a hundred more weapons appeared in air. All of the weapons began surging with energy, it seemed like electricity but it couldn't be.

"Buki Buki no mi, ultimate technique: War Grounds of the Undefeated." Alistair said.

 

"This is the ultimate in attacks. You can't possibly guard these. It just doesn't happen. You'd best surrender now! Nothing can stop my complete take over of this island! As soon as you two are dead and I sign the official treaty with the Marines this island will belong to me forever!" Alistair said. The hundred weapons all began flying out at Emanuel. Emanuel was nimble and began dodging as best he could. Along the way various blades nicked him.

"So that's all?" Emanuel said as he continued jumping around to dodge.

"You've done all of this so you could control this island? You oppressed the people and killed Jack's brother for that? You'd dare betray the original cause you fought for? Is that really it?!!!" Emanuel yelled. He suddenly dashed at Alistair and picked something up as he did so. He hardly cared for the various cuts he was receiving, he just kept dashing.

 

"Your goal is pathetic! It's self-centered and cowardly! There's no way I'll let myself lose to you! My goal, and the goals of all my friends which they've entrusted to me, are far greater than your pathetic grasp for power!" Emanuel said.

 

"What would you-"

"Enough!" Emanuel yelled. He was right in front of Alistair. Emanuel then pushed what he had in his hand into Alistair's right arm

"What are you?" Alistair saw what it was. Another one of Jack's darts. Immediately Alistair's entire body was overcome with immense pain. He couldn't comprehend it.

"What did you do?" he said as he fell to the floor.

"Nothing. I simply activated the venom Jack already placed in your system." Emanuel said. Alistair knew that's what Jack had done with the first dart.

"Jack?!" was all he could get out through the pain. Emanuel then picked Alistair up with his left hand. He held him to his feet.

"I felt you should know who it was who defeated you." Emanuel said. With his right hand he then punched Alistair in the chest.

"Impact!" Emanuel said. Alistair went flying into the nearest wall and passed out immediately.

 

"That'll teach you." Emanuel said.

 

 

[spoiler=[i]Chapter 15[/i] Peace is Just One Step Away. Remove the Marines to Get There!]

Emanuel knew the fight was finished the moment he hit Alistair. Quickly he headed back to Jack. Neither of them was exactly in good condition. Emanuel had removed the spears from Jack but he needed attention soon. For that matter Emanuel needed medical attention soon as well. He had many cuts of varying severity. Still he ignored himself and picked up Jack. Jack slowly came to as Emanuel supported him with his shoulder.

"Emanuel. What happened?" Jack said.

"It's over Jack. You beat him." Emanuel said.

"What are you talking about? You defeated him. Or rather, you must have if you're still here." Jack said.

"True I struck the last blow but you were the one who defeated him. Right before you passed out you gave me a dart. The dart activated the poison you'd already planted in his arm. Right after that he was helpless. I hate to admit it but even I would've had some serious trouble with him without that. Sure I was faster but he had great reaction times and powerful attacks. Without your poison at work I wouldn't have finished him. That's why you're the one who defeated Alistair, as it should be." Emanuel said as he and Jack began walking.

 

Jack couldn't believe what had been accomplished. Tears began freely flowing.

"What's wrong?" Emanuel said.

"It's done. Brigham's murderer has gotten what he deserves. And now I know Brigham's efforts won't be for nothing." Jack said.

"That is something to be happy about." Emanuel said. As the two continued at their slow pace they soon saw three people running up to them. It was John, Frozox, and Koji who all seemed like they'd had some injuries. However it seems none of them were too severe and Frozox had gotten to them. Frozox seemed the least hurt, Koji was carrying his guitar which seemed to have been ruined and John seemed like he'd had some burns. Jack noticed the injuries Emanuel had an stopped taking Emanuel's assistance in walking. A great fatigue had taken over Emanuel. Using his human form so seriously was no doubt the cause. Frozox began walking up to him but Emanuel changed to his fox form and collapsed.

 

"Is he okay?" Jack said with worry. Frozox stepped over to Emanuel.

"The fatigue is to be expected now these cuts do need some work. And for that matter so do you." Frozox said to Jack.

"So it is over than right?" Koji asked.

"Emanuel did defeat Alistair so yes I suppose." Jack said.

"I told you, you defeated Alistair Jack!" Emanuel managed to say though very tired. Before they could do much else a crowd of people came crawling out slowly. They took notice of the Larghetto knocked out all over and some had heard what Jack had said. At first they were unsure but as more came out there began to be a great amount of noise and cheering. Shouts of thanks and other things could be heard. One man in particular walked up to the group.

"You all seem to need some medical attention. Allow me to assist you. I'm the town's doctor." the man said.

"Thank you." Frozox said.

 

A group of people helped get Emanuel to a resting place. With the town doctor and Frozox all of Jack's and Emanuel's injuries were taken care of. Emanuel had passed out on the way over. As soon as Jack was done being treated he got up and tried to go about town. However Frozox and the doctor made Jack stay put. John and Koji were outside.

"So it seems you're on our side now. How exactly did that happen?" John asked.

"Oh yeah! You're one of the two guys we rescued! Yeah well it turns out that your captain and vice-captain didn't even plan on meeting me. They ran into me and they were in a hurry. The guy with the katana said he'd seen me in Adagio, though I was drunk at the time so I don't recall too well. Anyway, I asked what they were up to and sort of ran along with them. The fox guy, Emanuel I think it was, asked if I'd like to join his crew. I needed something to do so I said 'What the hell, I'm in.' and that was that." Koji said.

"Sounds about right for Emanuel." John said.

"Well it's sure a good thing I did come along! You and that other guy wouldn't be alive right now if I hadn't come! The way I see it, you two owe me big time!" Koji said with a big smile.

"Not likely." John said.

 

"What?!! How can you just say that to the guy who saved your life?" Koji said.

"For one, I don't make or accept debts. Secondly, you were most likely only an added bonus to Frozox's plan. He no doubt had the whole thing planned out before they ran into you and adjusted accordingly." John said.

"I bet you would like to think that! You just want to get out of owing me don't you?" Koji yelled.

"Even if I did 'owe' you, I can assure you that debt wouldn't be around for too long." John said. With that he began to walk off. Then an eccentric man ran up to Koji.

"Excuse me sir! I couldn't help but notice that you have a severely damaged instrument on your hands!" the man said.

"What of it?" Koji said.

"Let me repair it for you free of charge! My way of thanking you and your friends." the man said.

"Seriously?! Free?! Hell yes I'm all for that! Let's go!" Koji said. He followed the man off to his instrument repair shop.

 

At port several Marine ships were hanging around. The Marine Captain of the two small ships had grown quite impatient. Alistair was supposed to have met him at least an hour ago. He was getting irate and decided he couldn't wait anymore.

"Men! We're heading out! This Alistair obviously finds it funny to keep the Marines waiting! Let's show him the the error of his ways!" he called. The men called back enthusiastically. The men marched through Adagio and headed on the path to Allegro con fuoco.

 

About fifty minutes later all of the crew, save Emanuel, was up and moving. Emanuel himself was sleeping quite peacefully. The other four were outside. John had received a decently interesting book from the local library. Koji's guitar was looking as good as ever so obviously someone had repaired it. Jack was around just trying to see what was going on. Frozox was staying near the inn in case Emanuel needed more help though that seemed unlikely. About ten minutes ago, Krook of all things had appeared at the inn. Frozox realized he had almost completely forgotten about Krook and began apologizing to the small penguin. It seemed Krook had walked the whole way but was happy to be around Frozox again. The group, except for Jack, had gathered around the inn just wondering what to do. That was when a man came running screaming.

"That Marines are coming! They're only five minutes away from the city!" he called.

 

"John, Koji. Let's go." Frozox said.

"Seems the fighting isn't over yet!" Koji said.

"Great, the Marines would have to be here." John said. The three headed off. They weren't in peak condition but they would no doubt be enough to handle some Marines. The three reached the edge of Allegro con Fuoco quickly and saw a decent number of Marines approaching. The three began to draw their weapons.

"Wait!" a voice called out. The three turned around to see Jack, surrounded by the people of Allegro con Fuoco.

"Let us handle this!" Jack called out. Jack came forward and the people brought up Alistair and the Larghetto members tied up and still unconscious. The Marine Captain stepped up to Jack at the edge of the city.

 

"What is all this?" the captain asked.

"We're here to turn in these corrupt rulers for arrest." Jack said.

"Funny. Your 'corrupt ruler' had an appointment with me today." the captain responded.

"Something that as far as we're concerned, shouldn't be happening. Now you will take these criminals and lock them away for the oppression of this people. And then you will never return to this island." Jack said.

"Will I now? Suppose I don't want to, what then?" the captain asked.

"This." Jack said. All of the thousands of people from the town raised weapons and a battle cry.

"If you try to do other than we tell you I can assure you that your men won't be getting out of here in one piece." Jack said. The captain was clearly impressed.

"Right then. Men, take the criminals! We're leaving." the captain said as he turned around.

"But sir!" the men protested.

"But nothing! There's no way I'm going to fight them! Now we're going!" the captain said.

 

With that the Marines withdrew and it seemed Musica Island was in for the peace it had fought for all those years ago. It was a day of celebration. The next morning Emanuel was up though couldn't do much more than talk and walk. He was still quite tired. The whole illness still had Frozox and John quite concerned. Regardless they headed out to the port. When they got to Adagio they saw a small group of people from Allegro con fuoco along with the people of Adagio. There was an enthusiastic greeting. As they looked they couldn't see their small ships in dock. However they did see a much larger vessel.

"Welcome New Dawn Pirates!" Jack said warmly as he emerged from the front of the group. The group stepped up to Jack. Emanuel motioned for Frozox to speak with him, he was too tired to have a full on conversation.

 

"What is all of this?" Frozox said.

"Well, we know of the New Dawn's reputation for leaving early the next morning after they do something and we had to be sure to see you off." Jack said.

"By the way, where are our ships?" John said.

"Oh those, they're on the port side of the Fortissimo." Jack said.

"The Fortissimo?" Frozox questioned.

"Your knew ship!" Jack said.

"What?" the whole crew called out.

"It's our way of thanking you. You'd have needed a larger ship eventually anyway and we thought there wasn't a better way to thank you!" Jack said.

"Amazing! Thanks Jack!" Emanuel called out. He looked out on the ship. It had a very music based theme. Aside from the various musical marking decorations there was one thing that captivated Emanuel's attention. The flag. It was a pirate flag with a strange symbol on it. There was the skull and crossbones but the skeleton head looked like that of a fox and the sun was rising in the background.

 

"I see you've noticed our artist's interpretation of the New Dawn symbol." Jack said. Emanuel couldn't respond he was so into it. The crew got on the ship and was amazed at the size of the vessel. It was roughly the same size as the legendary "Going Merry" of the Straw Hats. The crew was ready to take off but Emanuel seemed like something was bothering him.

"What's wrong?" Jack called up to Emanuel.

"Something's missing." Emanuel said.

"What?" Jack said.

"You Jack." Emanuel said. Jack didn't know what to say. Emanuel wanted him on his crew. In truth, since Luffy's execution he'd wanted to join a pirate crew. But his involvement on Musica island had never let him. He wasn't sure what to say. Then he heard various calls of "Go for it Jack!" and other such things were heard from the people. They wanted him to join the crew.

"You're right Emanuel, I suppose I am. Permission to come aboard, captain?" Jack said.

"Do you even need to ask?" Emanuel responded. Jack boarded the ship and had a strange feeling of sadness and happiness. He couldn't believe he was leaving, but he couldn't believe he was joining a crew more.

"New Dawn Pirates, set sail!" Emanuel called out. A unison "Yes captain!" was heard in response. The New Dawn crew left Musica island two members stronger.

[Christian Exodia]

I think we should have someone do a Fanfic on our characters in concept, like what would happen if we put our characters in the place of the Straw Hats & such.

[Guest Tainted Black]

Yeah, no. Replacing characters is a BIG no-no.

[Christian Exodia]

Just an idea. My opinion.
